In December, MPs from both sides of the border, including Susan Elan Jones, Ian Lucas and Owen Patterson, met with the Welsh minister in charge of transport, Ken Skates, about turning it into a dual carriageway.

Now Miss Jones has called for progress to be made on improving the road.

She said: “It’s something we have been campaigning for on a cross border and cross party basis. Road safety is of paramount importance.

“It is important that we do what is best for safety and to help the traffic flow and this very busy road and we need the improvements on this road to be done on both sides of the border.

“And this change would not just be good for safety but also the economy.”
